God, millennials. You deserved better. You deserved better than the movie Hook. You deserved better than crappy plastic lunchboxes with stickers on them where they clearly didn’t even get the likeness rights for the actors.

Hey, you folks who really love autumn, that’s great. I’m glad it makes you happy. But could you maybe just enjoy your thing and stop shitting all over summer? Some of us really like summer, and we’re kind of bummed that it’s drawing to a close. Let’s all just shit on March. March sucks.
Hey Trader Joe’s! Sneaking in an Amazing Mumford reference! Appreciated!
here’s a little game… pick a band/artist, and name your top however many songs you can do, limited to one per album
I’m excited about the Women's Pro Baseball League. But I’m kind of bummed that the whole first season is gonna be played in Springfield, Illinois, because I used to live in that area and I just recently* moved away. * 25 years ago
My wife loves To Kill a Mockingbird so we did consider Atticus as a possible baby name. But we had already decided the kids would have her last name — Atkinson. And you can’t name a child Atticus Atkinson unless you want him to grow up to be a character in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta.
A lack of proofreading is setting out to destroy two relationships today.
I’ve never seen the movie, but there’s a moment in the play that it’s based on where the guy and his nephew tell someone that they do great impressions of James Madison and James Monroe (or some guys of that era). They do these imitations and their one-man audience says …
Jesse Thorn@jessethorn.bsky.social · 7d agoThe greatest film about comedy is A THOUSAND CLOWNS, which has NO CLOWNS, just a comedy writer coming to terms with what it means to be an adult and a kid coming to terms with what it means to be a kid. Please join me for a screening in LA, 8/21! www.americancinematheque.com/now-showing/...
The Odyssey movie seems to be doing really well. I wonder if it would’ve had even better box office if they’d released it during December, for Happy Honda Days.
It is a rare day when I think the people whining about the Wordle solution might have some valid point. Because that is not how I was taught to spell that word.
Just remembered that the funny animal version of Ghost Rider is named Goose Rider. What do you call a baby goose? a GOSLING! Coincidence?!?! Don’t be naive.
The Aeneid is Vergil's 10,000 line fanfic about a Glup Shitto from the Iliad.
First day of our family vacation in Ocean City, New Jersey! Wonder how I’ll spend the day today… I know, I’ll attempt to make a single left turn!
I’m in Jiffy-Lube for the first time in well over a decade, because I believe they are one of the most diabolically evil corporations on earth, but my mechanic couldn’t fit me in and I need an oil change before we hit the road for our family vacation. And …
If the third act of Paul F. Tompkins career were him playing a Poirot-esque detective who occasionally had to adopt a character disguise to solve a cozy mystery every week for 10-15 22-episode seasons? The universe might start to make sense again.
Despite my best efforts as a New Englander, my youngest son, who has spent his entire life living in the Philadelphia area, is a 76ers fan. And his favorite player of all-time is LeBron James. So it’s kind of a big day in our house.
Throw caution to the wind. Throw fear to the snow. Throw anger to the sky. Just chuck all your emotions at things until you’re totally empty inside. Breathe.
Poor cannibal. I’d scream too if I was next to an inhuman monster like Andrew Tate.
Gonna be a fascinating day of people whining about the Wordle solution, and an aggressive backlash to that whining
With all due respect to Ernest Hemingway, I think the actual saddest one-sentence short story is every single subject line on the r/photoshoprequest subreddit.
One of my kids is watching High School Musical because their middle school is doing it onstage next year. I know it’s popular but I kinda don’t get why any drama club teacher would want to direct it because its depiction of a drama club director is, like, inches away from being a hate crime.
People always love to joke about the second Darrin on Bewitched, but I don’t think I knew before today that there were also two Mrs. Tates and two Gladys Kravitzes.
And not, as I had assumed, the ginchiest hunk on Bikini Bongo Beach.
Spain with one huge goal. I would have expected a lot of little goals.
Normal Time is over! In this game. In real life, normal time ended about 10 years ago.
Argentina versus Spain! For my fellow Drama club kids, that’s Evita versus Man of La Mancha.
And, you know, I’ve owned one for years, and I don’t think the movie was a very faithful adaptation of my minivan.
ME, WATCHING THE NEW JENNIFER GARNER SHOW ON PEACOCK: Oh god. They all have problems.
